The adrenal cortex of 32 newborns and of 3 anencephalic monsters of 16 to 40 weeks' gestational age was examined. Functional activity of the adrenal cortex was followed by analysis of the zonal distribution of lipids and by measurement of the total cholesterol content. The cholesterol content ranged between 0.15 and 0.85 mg/100 g. Cholesterol accumulation was highest in the anencephalic monsters. The relative cholesterol content failed to show any correlation with gestational age. When compared with the biochemical determination of cholesterol content, morphological investigation of lipid accumulation proved to be superior and to be a suitable method for estimation of zonal maturity even in individual cases.
对32例新生儿以及3例孕龄为16至40周的无脑儿畸形儿的肾上腺皮质进行了检查。通过分析脂质的区域分布以及测量总胆固醇含量来追踪肾上腺皮质的功能活性。胆固醇含量在0.15至0.85毫克/100克之间。胆固醇积聚在无脑儿畸形儿中最高。相对胆固醇含量与孕龄未显示出任何相关性。与胆固醇含量的生化测定相比，脂质积聚的形态学研究被证明更具优势，并且即使在个别情况下也是评估区域成熟度的合适方法。
